Blend's Reference loan number and UUID

Learn the differences between a Reference loan number and a Blend loan UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) and where to find them.

Loan UUIDs play an important role when troubleshooting or reporting a bug to Blend Support. Loan reference numbers can be manually set by lenders (role permitting) or via the API. Blend UUIDs on the other hand, are unique.

Tip: Both UUIDs and Reference loan numbers can be used to search. To learn what other search parameters you can use, see Search for an application.

• Reference loan number
• Blend UUID
• Activity Feed Events

Reference loan number

The Reference loan number -most commonly known as "loan number"- is located in the Loan information section of the application.

Things to note

• Reference loan numbers can be updated manually by lenders or via the API.
• Reference loan numbers will be updated to match your LOS after export (If your LOS is integrated with Blend and the feature is supported for your LOS).
• Reference loan numbers are not unique identifiers, therefore more than one loan can have the same number.

Blend UUID

The Blend UUID is a unique 32 alphanumeric string included in the URL (Unique Resource Locator) located in the address bar of your browser.

Example: 5b18f358-0d3a-3abc-ad84-47129287a123

Things to note

• Blend UUIDs are assigned to a Blend loan during creation.
• Unlike a Reference loan number, a Blend UUID is unique and no more than one loan can have the same value.

Activity Feed Events

When the loan number is changed after a successful export, the activity feed will show the following event:

API User: 1a2b3c@blend.com set the reference number
137826

If the loan number is updated manually, the activity feed will show the following event:

User edited loan
Lender Case Identifier - Loan Identifier
